The following six players have been nominated by the public (from 1 million votes received) for FIFA inaugural Best Young Player Award at the World Cup.
Lionel Messi - Argentina
Christiano Ronaldo - Portugal
Lukas Podolski - Germany
Tranquilo Barnetta - Switzerland
Ces Fabregas - Spain
Luis Valencia - Equador
The winner will be decided by FIFA's technical study group.
Who would you vote for??
On face value I would have voted for Lionel Messi but he didn't play the role in this WC that I thought he might, for reasons best known to Pekerman, the Argentinian manager. Therefore I will opt for Lukas Podolski.
